We have now acquired 3 two-axis inclinometers made by Applied GeoMechanics (AGI). The meters contain two inclinometers (called X & Y) mounted orthogonally and also a temperature probe. The 3 output voltages from each of the three devices are fed to a DGH A-D converter which can talk to the VAX on RS232 cables. Recent experience with such a system on the carousel strain gauge project has allowed cloning of the data acquisition software. The inclinometers are mounted permanently except when being calibrated.
